Hold your leg in a strange postion, for an hour, then stretch it back out.It will probably feel a bit weird, to move it and stretch it again.Well... that's what I am going through, this week.My leg has been in my brace for six weeks, now.I have hardly been able to move it.And yesterday, they took my brace off, and my legs hurt so badly! I screamed and screamed. I never scream, unless it is really bad.I usually love the water, but yesterday, I was hurting so much, I couldn't even think about the water! The brace was off for an hour.This week, I will have some hydrotherapy, without the brace, each day. After the therapy, I will get the brace put back on. Hopefully, I can have the brace permanently removed later this week. I will probably still have some form of brace at night. It actually felt much better when they put my legs back in to the brace. That made Mum feel a bit sad.This was me, yesterday. When Mum rang my sister, to say goodnight, I heard Aunty Carol's voice. I was yelling to her, telling her how bad my leg hurt and how angry I was at everyone, for hurting me. I had a lot to say! (I didn't use words, but my meaning was very clear!)

I felt much better in my hydrotherapy today and relaxed into the movements. The physiotherapist was happy with how I tried. I still cried from pain, but hopefully, tomorrow will be better still.Now, I'm meant to be sleeping, but I am being cheeky!

Hopefully, as the week goes on, I will start enjoying it more and build up my muscles - can you see how skinny they are! If my surgeon is happy, the brace will come off on Thursday.
